<p>Debbie Harry has no regrets about her cosmetic procedures — but she is coming clean about why she felt the need to get work done.</p>
<p>The Blondie frontwoman, 80, revealed that she views cosmetic work as a "tool" that helps her feel more confident in her looks and explained that looking attractive, especially as a woman in the music industry, is a requirement of her job.</p>
<p>"It's always been a tool for me. It's not like I started having cosmetic surgery as a kid in school — I think nowadays a lot of girls are getting cosmetic surgery when they're 10, 11 years old. God bless if it improves their lives and they feel happy," Harry said in an interview with Vanity Fair published June 30. "But as far as me having cosmetic surgery, it made me feel better about myself."</p>

<p>The "Heart of Glass" singer continued, "Maybe it made me feel happy, or more confident. It was just something that I felt necessary at the time. I wanted to work, and so much of women being attractive, and being a selling point, is clearly showbiz. If you're going to be in the business, be in it."</p>

<p>Harry has discussed her relationship with aging, cosmetic work, and how it relates to her 50 year career in music in her 2019 memoir, Face It.</p>
<p>"I have never hidden the fact that I've had plastic surgery. I think it's the same as having a flu shot basically, another way of looking after yourself," she previously said of cosmetic work. "If it makes you feel better and look better and work better, that's what it's all about."</p>
<p>In the book, she revealed that "getting older is hard on your looks. Like everybody else, I have good days, bad days and those 'S---, I hope nobody sees me today' days."</p>

<p>While Harry tries to maintain a positive outlook about the career she's made for herself, she often wonders if the focus on her appearance throughout her career has overshadowed her achievements. "It's sometimes made me wonder if I've ever accomplished anything beyond my image," she added.</p>
<p>Harry turned 80 on July 1, and ahead of the milestone, she shared more of her thoughts about aging in a January interview with The Times.</p>
<p>"I don't walk around thinking every minute, oh my God, I'm going be 80 — but that's sort of how I feel," the rock icon told the outlet. "My mother used to say in her head she was 25 and I'm the same."</p>
<p>She added that "thinking about [aging] all the time could be your downfall," and noted that she "really [wanted] the same kind of life I did when I was younger" because she's already "done that."</p>
